Report: Nevada Women Get 81 Cents For Every Dollar Men Earn

A state-by-state analysis reveals that a woman employed full time, year-round in Nevada is typically paid just 81 cents for every dollar paid to a man — a yearly pay difference of $8,645. 

That means Nevada women lose a combined total of more than $6 billion every year to the gender wage gap. 

Northern Nevada Business Review report that the new analysis, conducted by the National Partnership for Women & Families using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, finds that Nevada has the 30th largest cents-on-the-dollar gap in the nation.

It also finds that there is a gender-based wage gap all fifty states and the District of Columbia. 

The cents-on-the-dollar gap is largest in Louisiana and Utah, followed closely by West Virginia and Montana — and smallest in New York, California and Florida.
